Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins by Mike Leeder is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the fundamentals of sedimentology, the study of sedimentary rocks and processes. The book provides a solid foundation in the field, covering key concepts such as sedimentation, transportation, and deposition, as well as their application to sedimentary environments.
Leeder emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of sedimentology and its relevance to a variety of disciplines, including geology, environmental science, and engineering. He draws on his extensive experience in the field to provide practical examples and case studies, which illustrate the importance of sedimentology in understanding the dynamics of Earth’s crust and its impact on human activities.
The book is designed to be accessible to undergraduate students in earth and environmental science. It covers the fundamental concepts of sedimentology while also providing a broad overview of the field’s applications. Leeder’s clear writing style and clear examples make the material easy to understand and apply.
Overall, Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts and applications of sedimentology. It is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about this important field of science and its applications in Earth and environmental sciences, and it is a valuable resource for undergraduate students studying these subjects.

Описание книги от Mike Leeder R.
Sedimentology is a core discipline of earth and environmental sciences. It enquires the origins, transport and deposition of mineral sediment on the Earth's surface. The subject is a link between positive effects arising from the building of relief by tectonics and the negative action of denudation in drainage catchments and tectonic subsidence in sedimentary basins. The author addresses the principles of the subject, emphasising the advantages of a general science approach and the importance of understanding modern processes. Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins is not an encyclopaedia, but attempts to stimulate interdisciplinary thought across the whole subject area and related disciplines. The book has been designed to meet the needs of earth and environmental science undergraduates.
